"It didn't take long for the Saints to go from being pitied to being pitiful again, did it? God, I wish we had some of their talent around our team. But the quarterback, in our estimation, isn't a guy you can win with, and they have got to be one of the most undisciplined teams around. For the second week in a row, they put themselves in a hole by fumbling the opening kickoff. And then, when they got back into the game in the fourth quarter, [free safety] Dwight Smith gets a taunting penalty. You can't be doing that kind of [stuff], right? But they do it all the time."

"Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is making more calls at the line of scrimmage than ever before. With coordinator Charlie Weis gone, the staff has given Brady more latitude, and he has done more audibling and checking off. As many as 60-70 percent of the plays have been decided at the line of scrimmage on "check with me" calls."

And that's what you look for in a leader... especially from the quarterback of your football team.

that taunting penalty was a load of horsesh!t. seriously, i thought we might get some pity this year from the refs.

not saying we deserved a win, but the toe appeared to be on the line on the review. the dante return was legit...very weak call on that one. and the taunting penalty was amazing. he literally just said a few words while he was walking away from the play.
